Re: Fibro trigger point question-

[Guest guest]

chelle, I know just what you mean. i spent last night (4 hours) at an

academic awards banquet where I had to keep my head turned towards

the speaker.I have limited range of motion since I have a three

level fusion in my neck so I had stiff neck and a headache. Of course

that was after we found out her size 3 dress had a size 12 belt with

it- looked like a hula hoop on the kid! so we had to improvise one.

But it was so worth it- Chas got all kinds of awards & so did all my

senior Bible study girls that I teach. (Proud Mommy Face.) I think I

got to sleep at 3 a.m. after taking meds after meds....and had to get

up at 6:30 to come to work, where I have been going flat out all day.

I ran out of spoons about 2:00. <grin> But God is faithful to keep us

going when we don't think we can. Hang in there, sweetie. sending you

cyber-chocolate, a nice cup of tea, and hugs.

Yeah, well imagine me sitting in a restaurant in downtown disney,

moving my head and neck in all sorts of contortionist moves to try

to relieve the feeling, and all these people at the neighboring

table (must have been 11 of 'em...birthday party, you know) staring

at you like you've got some weird version of Turret's or something.

I should have started cussing at them just for the heck of it .

I think I have hemorrhoids in my neck.
